I HAVE A DREAM










Every evening…
Before my peepers shut for the night…
I have a dream…
Where I wake up in the morning…
Make my coffee…
Then write, write, write for the whole day…
Or as much as I can fit into my day.
In this dream…
I am not distracted…
I am focused…
My creativity soars…
And my editing skills are stellar.
But *sigh*
The day always gets away from me…
And I don't get done as much as I wanted to.
Trusts me…
This made me crazy thinking I wasn't a normal writer…
But then just this morning…
A writer buddy…
Posted this graphic on Facebook about the writing process.
















What do you think?
Pretty much true, eh?
So? Tell me…
How do you like to waste time? 

Always,

Em-Musing

Add playing music for inspiration and it's rather close!

By thinking over how other people will react and then changing the scene. Of course, I go back and change it back to what it was a couple of hours later. I am still learning to accept myself and not seek approval from others.
I enjoyed your article today.
All the best.

Hey, I'm a PRO at wasting time. This is MY problem. However, I would like to work on some of my short stories with the hope of publishing some of them. Evidently that is a Fantasy. However, the catch is... if I want to publish something I HAVE to get back to working on my stories and researching places that might accept my stories. But, I have a sick husband and I've moved and I just can't seem to find my inspiration again... excuses, excuses, excuses!

Great post!

My dream is similar, that I'll sit down to write and the words will just flow in huge quantities. That chart looks pretty accurate to me.

That's definitely a dream. The graph is closer to my reality.
